His Majesty's Devious Sins

Chapter 146 - Your Majesty Please

The twins' heart dropped. They glanced at each other, horrified at what the King had said. They had known Elias for as long as they could remember, and that was decades ago.

The twins had always thought Elias would never settle with any woman, for he was never entertained by any of them. The twins always thought it was because Elias was waiting for the one that could teach him compassion and love.

"Y-Your Majesty," the Doctor sputtered in sheer disbelief. He fumbled with his glasses, taking them off and wiping them with a handkerchief, wondering if he heard correctly.

"Abortions are legal in Wraith," Elias effortlessly said. He didn't even blink. "I would know, I ensured it."

The Doctor raised his head and gawked at the King. His mind was blank. The King had been ruling Wraith for at least two generations now. It had gotten to the point where not many people were certain of the King's age. And the King rarely celebrated his birthday, so people didn't even remember.

For as long as the Doctor could remember, there hadn't been an heir in a long time. There had never been a woman caught in a scandal with the King, nor did it seem like the King allowed any pregnancy to leak out.

"I-if that is what you wish," the Royal Doctor finally stammered out. He didn't think the King could be so cruel and wish for such a thing, especially because this was such a rare opportunity.

If the human Queen were to give birth, it'd only solidify the vampire's love for her. It would be a win for both members of the royal family, so why?

"Prepare it now," Elias heartlessly said.

"Y-yes, I-I'll have my nurses get the equipment and—"

"No!" Easton shouted, his voice slicing through the thick atmosphere. He couldn't believe the King would do such a thing. He couldn't believe his best friend would be this cruel to the Queen!

Elias spun around, his face dark and stormy. If possible, the room became even colder, and the shadows on the walls dashed for Easton.

"W-what my brother meant to say," Weston quickly spoke up, shoving Easton behind him. "Was that abortion is far too extreme of a decision to make. If the Queen doesn't give consent—"

"The Queen simply can't consent, she is in a coma because of that thing!" Elias growled, pointing an accusing finger towards his wife. He didn't need to be told what caused her coma.

It was already difficult for humans to mate with vampires. Giving birth was an entirely different story, and the majority of the humans had to be turned before the pregnancy. If they were turned into a vampire mid-pregnancy, there was no saying what could happen to the woman, much less the baby.

The process of turning was difficult, but even more so for Adeline who'd be converted into a Pure-Blood. The process was lengthy, and required Adeline's body to be drained of as much blood as possible before the Pure-Blood's blood was injected into her. Even so, there was no saying that her body would accept the unworldly substance. Worst case scenario, her body would give out right then and there.

"But it's not fair," Easton whispered, his voice cracking towards the end. He always had a soft spot for children, especially babies. And now that the possibility of seeing his best friend's child was so close… Easton couldn't risk it.

"Her Grace should have a say in this situation," Easton said. He rarely defied Elias, for it was physically and emotionally impossible. No one could ever defy the King.

Elias's entire presence radiated power. And only a fool would challenge such monstrosity.

"No need to prepare the equipment," Elias said to the Doctor. He'd kill the child himself, with his b.a.r.e hands. "Just prepare the painkillers."

It was almost as if the twins knew what was going to happen. Elias took a step forward, and the twins dashed towards the Queen. Easton stood beside the bed, spreading his arms wide. Even Weston came forward, standing protectively in front of his younger brother.

"There has to be another solution, Your Majesty," Weston said. "This child inside the Queen is going to be the next heir of Wraith. We, as your loyal subjects, can't stand by and watch as you murder something so precious."

"If you were my loyal subjects, you'd move!" Elias growled, grabbing his friend by the collar. His fingers dug into Weston's throat, who choked and clawed at the King's grip.

Weston himself was a Pure-Blood. With one hand, he could take down ten men at once. But the King was a different entity of his own.

"Pathetic." Elias threw his friend aside, ignoring the loud thud of Weston crashing against the wall.

Weston heaved and coughed out blood. He viciously wiped it from his mouth and watched in horror as Elias reached for Easton.

"Even if you have to kill me, Elias," Easton suddenly said. "I will not move. As much as I do not support the Queen, I'd do everything to protect the future heir of Wraith. That child has your blood, Elias! That child is yours!"

"I'll make your death swift," Elias demanded. He saw red. His friends never betrayed him like this. They never crossed the boundary so quickly. His blood boiled with fury, but his heart ached painfully.

So many people had abandoned him in his life. His parents. His mother who experimented on him, then took her own life. His father, who could never live without his wife. He had also killed himself. He had spent the majority of his life alone. Ate his meals alone. Bathed alone. Grew up alone.

Finally, he found Adeline. Finally, he found the only thing that gave him joy. She taught him compassion as she did with love. She was the sunlight in his grim world, the light at the end of the tunnel, and everything he could never be.

He couldn't lose her. He never could. Finally, there was someone who'd stay for eternity by his side. He had someone he could tell his troubles to, someone he knew would never leave, someone he could share his joy with. There was so much that they've yet to do, so many things he hadn't told her.

Elias couldn't fathom losing Adeline just because the world was greedy for an heir. He couldn't afford to lose her for a child.

Thus, he grabbed Easton by the throat, his fingers digging into the cold flesh. "I should just snap your neck," Elias growled, as he turned his wrist, but was suddenly tackled by Weston.

"Your Majesty please!" Weston shouted, holding the King down, but it was futile. A second later, he was roughly thrown back onto the wall. The furniture shattered and paintings fell from the impact.

The poor Doctor dashed out of the room, fearful of being next. Easton collapsed onto the ground, but dashed forward and threw his entire body onto Elias.

"The Queen would kill herself!" Easton shouted, his voice trembling with emotion. He had never gone against Elias like this. "She'd kill herself if she knew what you did to her without her knowledge."

"She would never know," Elias gritted out, pushing his friend off of him. The muscular twins weighed like nothing to him. "I'll just wipe everyone's memory here, starting with you."

Elias grabbed Easton's forehead, light emitting from his hand.

"Stop it!" Weston demanded, dashing forward and prying the King's handoff. "Elias, you can't be this irrational, goddamn hot-headed bastard!"

Weston shoved Easton off of Elias. They had never fought this hard in their lives. It was difficult to match the speed of Elias. Before they knew it, Elias was at the edge of the bed, his hand hovering over the Queen's belly.

"Your Majesty!" Weston roared, his voice shaking the entire room. B

ut it was far too late. The shadows waiting at the corner of the room surged forward, shrouding the King.

Weston watched in horror as the shadows gathered on the bed and rushed for the Queen's stomach. The windows shattered, the wind howled, as darkness filled the room. It wasn't long before hell broke loose. A choked scream was heard from Adeline's end, her eyes snapping open, blood dripping from her mouth. But that was not the end of it.

In horror and shock, the twins watched as Elias flew back. He stumbled on his own feet, watching in surprise as Adeline thrust a hand out.

Did a little human girl just shove the vampire king backward?
